The City bought two acres of land in College Park to be used for the Baseball park. As only about $1300 is available for the building of the park, very much of the labor will have to be done by interested citizens of Col lege Station. The $1300 will buy only the lumber for the fence and concession stand. The purpose of this letter is to acquaint the Daddys who will have or do have children playing Lit tle League Baseball with the need of some free skilled oi’ unskilled help. Only a very few people have been putting their free time into the construction of the park. It is estimated that between 75 and 125 boys will be eligible to play, but only about 10 or 15 Daddys have been regular in working to finish the park. The main thing that needs to be done at the present is to finish the fence and to build the conces sion stand. Work goes on every afternoon from around 4 p. m. untill dark. If you can “swing” a hammer you are cordially invited to come down any afternoon and help otit. This is another community pro ject which College Station is famous for undertaking and we feel that if the people know the need that they will ‘pitch in” and finish it up so that we can be ready to go as soon as the season gets underway. We are about two weeks behind schedule so please try to arrange to come down any afternoon and give a hand to the faithful few who are carrying the load. The site is lo.cated just, south of the softball park in college Park, just off Park Place street.
